Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

When CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES=y, running 'make modules'
in the clean kernel tree will get the following error.
$ grep CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES .config
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES=y
$ make -s clean
$ make modules

AR vmlinux.a
ar: ./built-in.a: No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:1241: vmlinux.a] Error 1
'modules' depends on 'vmlinux', but builtin objects are not built.
Define KBUILD_BUILTIN.
